Although the elite left by Lin Xing were formidable, and there were four of them, Lin Feng could tell with just a glance that this situation would not be easy to resolve.
This was because two of the four opponents actually possessed Internal Energy.
In fact, when Lin Feng realized that the opponents had Internal Energy, he was surprised but not shocked. After all, this was City J, a first-tier city, and it was normal for families like the Lin family or other big families in such a city to have Inner Strength Experts.
However, with Inner Strength Experts involved now, it would be somewhat difficult for Lin Feng to protect Old Lin and Lin Mei. After all, he couldn't reveal all his strength in front of them.
Even though Lin Feng was on the same side as them today, some matters could not be concluded so quickly. There might come a day when he stood against the Lin family.
Facing a big family that might very well become his adversary in the future, it was impossible for Lin Feng to hold back his abilities.
Yet at this moment, he had to do his best to ensure the safety of Old Lin and Lin Mei.
"Lin Mei, I will hold them off here. You quickly take your Grandpa and these brothers and leave. Hurry up! I don't know how long I can hold them," Lin Feng decided and said to Lin Mei.
"But if we do that..." After tonight's encounter, Lin Mei's impression of Lin Feng had greatly changed. Her intuition told her that Lin Feng might possess something she was interested in, and she had already considered him a friend. Therefore, she hesitated at this moment.
She had just witnessed the so-called elite left by Lin Xing engage with these people and knew that these four were no pushovers. At least, the four on their side seemed unable to withstand the pressure, so could Lin Feng handle it alone?
If he couldn't, wouldn't that put him in danger?
These questions left Lin Mei uncertain about what to do.
Although reason told her that if she didn't leave now, she might never get another chance.
But she was still a bit hesitant.
Seeing Lin Mei wavering, Lin Feng suddenly felt a warmth in his heart; he truly had not helped the Lin family in vain. At least, they regarded him as a friend.
However, at this moment, Lin Feng really did not want Lin Mei to stay. If she saw something she shouldn't, he wouldn't be able to hide his strength anymore.
So, he urgently said to Lin Mei, "Don't hesitate. I might be able to hold them off for a while and give you time to leave. Besides, this is inside the Auction, and security will probably be here soon. After all, if something happens, it would be hard for the Auction to take responsibility."
After saying that, Lin Feng gave Lin Mei a look that said "don't worry about me."
Seeing this, Lin Mei felt her eyes redden. To be honest, at this critical moment, Lin Feng's actions had already moved her; this was what a good Bodyguard should be.
At the same time, he was also a good friend, one who stepped up whenever she needed help the most.
After that, Lin Feng didn't say anything else but moved forward, helping one of his fellow Bodyguards block an attack he couldn't catch. While fighting, he told them, "Everyone escort Elder Lin and Miss back home; I've got this covered."
At that moment, Lin Feng didn't care about his tone anymore. After speaking, he continued to fight to give them a chance to withdraw.
When they heard Lin Feng's words, they thought it was Elder Lin's intention. Since Elder Lin could send Lin Feng to hold them off, it indicated that Lin Feng was not an ordinary opponent. With that in mind, they immediately withdrew from the battle and began escorting Elder Lin away.
Obeying orders had always been their duty.
Seeing the four Soldier Bodyguards escorting Elder Lin away, Lin Feng finally began to take action. Although two of them were Inner Strength Experts, they were only somewhat capable against martial artists without Internal Energy. In fact, Lin Feng felt that they were not much of a challenge.
Thus, he only took about five minutes to deal with all of them. Just as he wanted to approach and see who had sent these people, Lin Feng's Mental Power suddenly detected that Elder Lin and the others were also being blocked.
At that moment, Lin Feng realized that the enemy likely had backup and no longer hesitated. With swift movements, he knocked out several attackers before rushing toward Elder Lin's direction.
Since it was a later move, Lin Feng did not believe that the strength of the subsequent individuals was any less than those before.
Thus, Lin Feng could only quicken his pace and continue heading in that direction.
By the time Lin Feng arrived, a chaotic battle had already begun, and even Old Lin had joined the fray.
There were three newcomers, and as Lin Feng had expected, although there was one less person, all three were internal energy masters, significantly stronger than the previous opponents.
It was also because Lin Xing's remaining followers were fearless, risking their lives to protect Old Lin and Lin Mei; otherwise, they probably wouldn't have lasted this long.
At that moment, Lin Feng shouted loudly and joined the battle.
Although he entered the fray, Lin Feng did not recklessly engage the enemy. Instead, he gradually separated Lin Mei and Old Lin from the combat zone, positioning them behind him while he stood to fend off the attackers.
"Lin Feng..." Seeing Lin Feng appear right when she needed help the most filled Lin Mei with surprise as she called out.
Unfortunately, Lin Feng had to maintain a strained demeanor, so he did not respond to Lin Mei but continued to confront the enemies.
Lin Mei noticed the seriousness on Lin Feng's face and understood that now was not the time to distract him. She silently stood behind him, feeling protected by his broad back.
"Grandpa, what should we do?" Lin Mei asked her grandfather. Seeing how strained Lin Feng looked, she realized that achieving victory would not be easy for him; at least, the chances were slim.
"If there's no other way, then we should destroy this map. I believe they wouldn't dare to harm us," Old Lin said calmly, showing no signs of tension despite the situation.
Earlier, Old Lin had already suspected that these individuals were members of the Xu Family. After engaging in combat, he confirmed that they were indeed after the Ginseng Map and were not genuinely trying to inflict serious harm on him—let alone kill him.
Thus, Old Lin's suspicions were validated.
The struggle between the Big Family is not something that can be resolved merely through assassination; on the contrary, it is a very unwise action unless both sides harbor an irreconcilable hatred.
The conflict between the Lin Family and the Xu Family has been ongoing, but there are certain bottom-line issues that both sides adhere to well, as they understand that some matters cannot be resolved through violence.
Therefore, Old Lin is certain that these individuals must be from the Xu Family. Their purpose is likely to seize the Ginseng Map in his possession and perhaps take advantage of the situation to obtain something from him.
Thus, Old Lin is confident that their arrival will not cost him his life. In fact, as long as he is willing to give up the Ginseng Map, they might retreat.
Gradually, the few Soldier Bodyguards on the Lin Family's side are starting to falter and retreat.
On the other side, one person has taken the opportunity to break through Lin Feng's protective net and is now sneaking toward Old Lin.
This individual is naturally aiming for the tube containing the map in Old Lin's hands.
At this moment, Lin Feng truly feels overwhelmed. After all, these three seem to have deliberately targeted and defeated his Bodyguards, stretching the front line. In this situation, it is quite challenging for Lin Feng to manage both sides effectively.
"Mei'er, take this," Old Lin says. Although he is aging, he was a battlefield veteran in his youth. He immediately hands the tube to Lin Mei and steps forward to engage in battle.
Seeing Grandpa still fighting hard at his age makes Lin Mei suddenly realize how useless she feels. But what can she do? She is just a woman and lacks any real strength.
Despite being exceptionally intelligent, Lin Mei cannot change her helpless situation at this moment. She has always focused her life on work and rarely engages in physical activities, let alone martial arts.
At this point, she can only tightly hold onto the tube in her hands, vowing never to let go, even if it costs her life.
However, no matter how experienced or vigorous Old Lin may be, he cannot change the difference in strength. The opponent is an Inner Strength Expert, and Old Lin is quickly taken down. Although he did not use excessive force, he rendered Old Lin temporarily unable to rise and stop him.
After taking down Old Lin, that person strides directly toward Lin Mei, his gaze fixed on the tube in her hands.
"Mei'er, destroy the map," Old Lin said, unable to stand up no matter how hard he tried. He realized he couldn't move for the time being and could only shout at Lin Mei.
"Okay." Surprisingly, Lin Mei remained calm at this moment. After hearing her grandfather's command, she quickly opened the scroll tube and took out the drawing.
"If you take another step forward, I will destroy it," Lin Feng said, making a tearing gesture with both hands towards the man.
The man hesitated, as their mission here was to seize the map, so he dared not make a rash decision.
"Third Brother, destroy that map," the leader, who was engaged with Lin Feng and had noticed the situation here, shouted at Third Brother, who was about to approach Lin Mei. Realizing that with Lin Feng's formidable presence, their chances of obtaining the Ginseng Map today were extremely low, he felt it was better to have Third Brother destroy the map than risk losing everything.
He knew that if they didn't let Third Brother destroy the map now and missed this opportunity, Lin Feng might defeat them. At that point, even if they wanted to destroy the map, there would be no chance left.
In comparison, being able to destroy the map would still count as a form of gain.
Receiving the leader's order, Third Brother no longer hesitated. He moved forward, preparing to snatch the Ginseng Map.
Although the leader had just ordered to destroy the map, Third Brother wasn't foolish. He understood that destroying it was a last resort. Therefore, he still wanted to give it a try; after all, even if he failed, it would only result in the destruction of the map.
Since that was the case, why not give it a shot?
